Post ramatic stripe syndrome.

Funny title huh? Let's talk about dreams. Not the ones you dream at night, but the ones you dream about during the day. I'm 38 now and I think it a fair assesment to say that we never stop dreaming. Yes Sigmund Freud our dreams come from our ego and are shaped by our childhood, but why do we dream? We dream because it makes like worth living. We are given only one life, and we all have the desire for transcendence. Are dreams bad? Let me try to define by what I am refering to as a dream. A goal of unusual proportions, sometimes in proportion to our talent, sometimes not, and the ability to pursue and realize our potential in an exceptional way. Don't trample on my dreams, because some of them are coming true. God gives us our dreams, and for some he gives the talents and the opportunities to realize them. You have to dream first in order for any chance at your dreams coming true. Only some people are ready to realize them. There is no garantee that if you dream something that it will actually happen. God ordaines the lives of his children, but he doesn't promise them that everything will come true.

Obedience leads to blessing, and God chooses (I don't know how) to bless some people and other people differently, He is not a respecter of persons. We all have dreams, but some of us choose to live out not delusions, but our God ordained lives in a way that our dreams become our reality. It's not majic, it's virtue. Christian virtue is the key that unlocks our potential, despite our limitations and opens up a potential, ordained by God, of possibilities that can transform our lives, despite our failures. Nothing is for sure, the only thing that is garanteed is failure and the freedom to pursue and dream of the things that give us meaning in life.

Some Bible Verses on Money.

Bible verses about money. I bet you didn’t think the bible said that? Proverbs 23:5 When you glance at wealth, it disappears, for it makes wings for itself and flies like an eagle to the sky. 1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. Proverbs 13:11 Wealth quickly gained is quickly wasted — easy come, easy go! But if you gradually gain wealth, you will watch it grow. Psalm 62:10 Don’t make your living by extortion or put your hope in stealing. And if your wealth increases, don’t make it the centre of your life. Luke 6:38 “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Ecclesiastes 11:1 Cast your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it again. Malachi 3:10 Bring the whole tithe into the storeho...

My Story.

In 1999 I suffered a mental health crisis and admitted myself into the hospital where I live, in which I was given a mental health diagnosis. I didn’t want to receive medication at the time, but unwillingly accepted it. I was in the hospital for about two months, when I asked my doctor if I could go home, and he said yes, even though he thought it would have been better if I stayed longer. I was glad to be home though, but at 25, it took some adjusting to feel truly at home. One of the problems I was having at home was it was hard for me to eat the food in the house. I was having a psychosis where I felt the food wasn’t mine, and I literally had to go out to eat, or buy bread from the supermarket and take it home to eat it. Eventually this wore off, but I don’t remember how long. I was now on ODSP and had a check come to me every month in order to have financial support. I would occasionally have a crisis, and ask my mom to drive me to the hospital, but eventually th...

Why has the church lost its capacity and power?

The church has modernized itself and in the process has lost something very valuable. It has lost its capacity to be personable. The way we reach lost souls is by seeing them, by getting to know them, and by recognizing them, but people are getting lost in the church. The church has become a busy place and is also becoming a less holy place. To make disciples we have to get to know people, and technology in the church is depersonalizing souls, and depersonalizing God for them. Faith becomes a marketable commodity, whereas in the past, churches and their leaders nourished and valued personal faith. While faith is still valued, it’s becoming something that is marketable, which reminds me of the story of Jesus in the temple turning over tables (Matthew 21:12-17). The problem isn’t that the church doesn’t work or doesn’t want to share the gospel, it could be how we are doing it. The church is currently being run like a business, and each Christian metaphorically speaking has a profit...
